Yes, the food is unhealthy (but delicious), the weather unbearable, and the politics are much different than back home but the one thing I really love here is to listen to people talk. As you might recall on our trip to Canada I was very suspicious of our location because it took about 4 days before I heard anyone say “eh”. Well there’s no doubt where we are today. Leaving our room a member of the housekeeping staff greeted us with a friendly good morning and a directive “Y’all have a good breakfast “. Then at our favorite morning diner, Blue Plate Cafe [113 Court Ave, Memphis, TN 38103], the server (oops, I forgot we are in Tennessee) I mean waitress asked if we were ready to order or “y’all need a few more minutes?”
After another great breakfast we headed do the Cotton Museum. Patrice liked it but I would recommend a pass. After the museum we went back to the hotel for something that should be a part of every vacation. We both had massages.
After that I played Uber driver and picked up our friend Gary and his friend Smooch (not a typo and no, she is not from the South). We dined at the Barbecue Shop [1782 Madison Ave, Memphis, TN 38104] a place first introduced to us by Lance on our BBQ Food Tour in 2015 . This place is famous for their BBQ Spaghetti (yes spaghetti). We needed to get our BBQ palates ready for the judging which will be starting soon.
Here are the musicians from yesterday’s quiz. This time with their names included.
